Job Description
Exciting Opportunity at MSK : The Epidemiology and Biostatistics Services is looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Genetic Epidemiology to join the team.
We are seeking highly talented and motivated candidates interested in quantitative epidemiology and radiogenomics research in breast cancer and glioma.
The successful candidate will join the interdisciplinary research teams of Drs. Jonine Bernstein and Ronglai Shen bridging both the Epidemiology and Biostatistics Services.
The fellow will primarily devote time to NCI-funded multi-center research studies focused on understanding the joint roles of genetics and treatment in the etiology of breast cancer and glioma.
However, there will also be opportunities to develop epidemiologic studies focused on imaging biomarkers of cancer risk, cancer treatment-related issues including the influence of radiation therapy on non-cancer outcomes, and genetic predisposition to cancer.
The fellow will play a leading role on research projects, have the chance to present research findings at national scientific meetings, develop grant writing skills and to learn from a cadre of other postdoctoral fellows and mentors.
Key Qualifications :
A doctoral degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, or a related quantitative discipline, including but not limited to population health, genetic / molecular, genetics, statistical genetics or environmental health.
- Strong understanding of quantitative methods, study design, data analysis, and interpretation.
- Experience working with large genetic and population-based data sets, SEER, and proficiency in a statistical programming language, including R / python or SAS.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
